Being ready looks different for everyone. For me, Iโ€™m glad I was able to spend my 30s learning ways to cope with ADHD. Before I was diagnosed, I never really understood why some of the most basic adult tasks felt so daunting to me. I was scared to have a kid because the thought of having to get them ready for school in the morning and then managing my own start of the day was scary as hell. How am I supposed to get them to school on time? I know I seem Type-A as hell, so it is confusing when managing appointments and schedules feel like the hardest thing in the world. Now I know that time blindness (inability to gauge passing time) and executive dysfunction (poor planning/prioritization) are issues ADHDers deal with. Now I can actually build systems around my weak spots instead of just feeling like something is wrong with me. Donโ€™t get me wrong, I still hate packing with a passion (and having to pack for Baby T on top of it is ๐Ÿ˜ฌ), but knowing these are my weak spots helps so much with my mental health when Iโ€™m in the thick of it. Huge thanks to Auntie Gemini for being my executive function on this trip. Nap schedules, feeding windows, jet lag logic, all of it - so I could actually just be present and have fun.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹ #adhdmom #travellingwithbaby #adhdwomen
this one mindset shift about intermittent fasting this one mindset shift about intermittent fasting helped me lose 15 pounds in 3 months. i stopped thinking about fasting as a way to eat less calories, and started thinking about it as a way to drop my insulin so my body could actually burn fat. thatโ€™s the key insight in lesson 3. before this mental shift, i was counting down to my next meal the whole time. the moment my 16 hours was up, i thought: โ€œgreat! i can finally eat again.โ€ now i sometimes hit 16 hours and donโ€™t even feel hungry. so i keep fasting. not because Iโ€™m forcing it, but because i know my body is burning fat for energy. follow so you donโ€™t miss lesson 4, where I introduce you to your hangry beast and show you how to train it. #intermittentfastingresults #insulinresistance #metabolichealth #fatburning metabolicflexibility
Iโ€™ve been growing this fiddle leaf fig for almost Iโ€™ve been growing this fiddle leaf fig for almost 10 years. Itโ€™s hitting the ceiling, tipping over, and desperately needs to be turned into a tree. Iโ€™ve wanted to do this for years. But cutting the entire top off a plant Iโ€™ve kept alive for a decade feels... irreversible. Like once you do it, thereโ€™s no going back. Then I spent way too long watching plant people on Instagram do it and finally hyped myself up enough to try. This is No. 23 on my 40x40 list: do something that scares me. Not because the stakes are high, but because Iโ€™ve been overthinking a decision that isnโ€™t actually that serious. Some things feel like a one-way door when theyโ€™re really a two-way door. Worst case? I buy another plant. Did it work? Still waiting to find out. ๐ŸŒฟ #fiddleleaffig #40by40 #becomingforty #houseplantsmakemehappy #plantmom

the insulin series, lesson 1 ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”’ most people think the insulin series, lesson 1 ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”’ most people think fat loss is about eating less. but what they donโ€™t tell you is that you canโ€™t burn fat if your insulin is elevated. hereโ€™s exactly how glucose and insulin work โ€” and why the timing of when you eat matters just as much as what you eat. this is lesson 1 of 4. save this and come back to it. lesson 2 coming soon โ€” same calories, completely different impact on your insulin. #insulinresistance #metabolichealth #bloodsugarbalance #glucoserevolution
POV: youโ€™re sick of โ€œmove more and eat lessโ€ becau POV: youโ€™re sick of โ€œmove more and eat lessโ€ because itโ€™s never actually worked for you. Turns out scientists are still actively debating what causes obesity. ๐Ÿงฌ There are two models: 1. Energy balance model - aka calories in, calories out 2. The carb-insulin model - less talked about but has changed my life I enrolled in Cornellโ€™s Nutrition and Metabolic Health program to get answers from the source. ๐Ÿคฏ My biggest a-ha moment? Even the experts donโ€™t agree. No wonder weโ€™re always getting whiplash from dieting advice. If youโ€™ve never heard of the carb-insulin model, you might just be missing half the picture. #carbinsulinmodel #metabolichealth #insulinresistance
